The 'What Are You Playing' 2016 Thread

[Dominic Brehetto]

i feel you man. Open world Is alright in some rpgs, and GTA is always good. For the most part, shyt being open world is overrated

No open world game should EVER force you to do side quests. And I've been noticing more and more of them doing it.

I thought the whole point of open world was "freedom" ,forcing you to do shytty repetitive tasks goes against the whole point of the game structure.

The time padding in games these days is out of control.

Just 2k and Uncharted 4 MP..........I still like to splurge and Mod whips to cruise in on GTA V too

I went in about to buy No Man's Sky on a whim because I desperately wanted something to play and the brotha at Best Buy was lowkey like

Just ended Tomb Raider and Quantum Break.

The Division has been my crack lately but shyt is pissing me off
TitanFall 1 always in the system

Waiting for TitanFall 2, that's the only game I really want this year

Anybody familiar with my posting knows I'm not a fan of modern open world game design.

That said if you loved shadow of mordor and love the ubisoft and wb formula of open world you'll probably enjoy this game.


Me? I hate this garbage. Mad max is open world the game. Its filled with a nauseating and dizzying amount of side quests. Aka digital chores. Take over this base. Now do it 30 more times. Run over this statue. Do it 100 more times. Float In this Ballon. Do it 20 more times. And on. And on. And on.

Exasperating this is the fact the world is huge. Yet so so empty. It's just a huge ugly brown desert that goes on and on. It's big brown and empty.

I have trouble even beginning to understand how people enjoy this game design. It's not fun. There's very little thought or care. It feels like it's praying on people with ocd.

And forcing me to side quests or I can't go further in the story is bullshyt.

This isn't a game so much as its just a template. We got batman. Then lord of the rings. Now mad max. Wonder what movie franchise wb will throw this template on?

It took me 6 months to finish this game. I'm giving Witcher 3 and mgs v the face on my shelf just thinking about playing more open world.


I mean I guess I can say that the game is fairly decent looking. The combat is fine for what it is. It wasn't broken or glitch. It's a fine game for what it wants to be. It just doesn't appeal to me.

4.5/10

Playing Arkham origins on Wii U game is really underrated a certain boss fight

Spoiler

Deathstroke that katana phase had to switch on hints when I had 2 bars of health left and did it immediately

with no hints on hard

Spoiler

reminds me of the Skulls in MGS5

Is arkham origins any good
I played all 3 batman games

It's just like the other arkham games which could be a good or a bad thing depending on how you take it. You have new enemy types and gadgets you got you're martial artists, venom dudes... might be some more but I haven't got that far. Better, bigger overworld than AC but some bugs and framerate drops . There are only thugs on the streets including the boys in blue but there are crimes to solve. WB montreal did the Ubisoft thing where you have to open up the map. And there are data packs instead of riddler trophies to collect. It's worth playing just for the deathstroke battle imo.

@Grand Conde I think it was you that said you realy liked Transistor but never played bastion?

Bastion is on the flash sale on psn. Same developer as Transistor. i think there's a good chance you'd like it

I think I might do it

shyt I'm already past my total from last year.

I've been going hard the last month or so.

19 weeks left in the year. So I just have to average 1 game a week and I'll do it.
